Optimization of the Spatial Arrangement of Working Elements in Oscillatory-Type Plants

Abstract

The paper is devoted to a numerical simulation and optimization of wave-mixing processes in oscillatory-type plants. We consider different variants of the spatial arrangement of working elements (blades). The computational experiment consists of three stages: simulation of the fluid flow, inside which there is an oscillating body; simulation of the evolution of the admixture amount in the carrier medium; and calculation of the criteria for mixing efficiency. Based on the results of numerical analysis, we propose an approach to the optimal arrangement of working elements in space, which provides the basis for automation of the design process for wave-mixing devices.
